A retail outlet now closes its doors without warning, leaving shoppers in despair as no reason was given to the community.
The Save-A-Lot outlet in Butler, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to close up shop on Saturday, February 24.
Shoppers have claimed that no reason has been given for the pending closure.
It has been reported the store was hit by a lack of sales, and chiefs faced issues over rent, per Butler Radio.
Fans are in mourning from the news that the store is closing – just years after it opened in 2019, reports The-Sun.
“I like that store. It’s a shame it’s going under,” one shopper lamented on Facebook.
“I personally liked this store. Sad to see it go,” another chimed.
“Aw, that’s sad. It hasn’t been there that long,” a third customer said.
Bob Dandoy, the mayor of Butler, said he was disappointed the store is closing.
“We are struggling now in the city,” he told Butler Eagle.
“We are a food desert, and we are trying to find at least one grocery store to come that is within walking distance of most of our residents or a short drive.”
Shoppers reminisced on how they used to pick up bargains at the budget-friendly store.
Meanwhile, others have revealed what they want to replace the grocery store.
Some said they wouldn’t mind Aldi opening another grocery store, while others revealed they want a K-Mart to open.
The closure comes just weeks after a Save-A-Lot store in Altoona, Pennsylvania, closed for good on February 10.
Another store in Richton Park, Illinois, closed its doors for the final time on February 16 after being open for 17 years, too.

This bankrupt clothing retailer is now having a massive sale of up to 90% off as it sets to close a major location.
Soft Surroundings, a women’s clothing retailer, is officially closing one of its stores in Kansas City, Kansas, reports The-Sun.
Located in the Country Club Plaza, the store has been in operation for 12 years.
An employee confirmed on Monday that the store’s last day of operation will be Sunday, February 25.
Shoppers will be able to score a whopping 70% to 90% off on inventory at the store through Sunday.
The clothing chain had over 40 stores across the US before it filed for bankruptcy last year.
All Soft Surroundings stores have either closed down or are in the process of getting shut down.
The company will still conduct direct-to-consumer business online via its website, which the apparel company Coldwater Creek acquired as part of the bankruptcy process.
Another popular fashion and clothing retailer, Rent the Runway, is also on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.
The clothing rental service has struggled with a variety of business operations, such as meeting customer demand and maintaining its active subscriber count, according to PYMNTS.
A report from CreditRiskMonitor revealed that the e-commerce platform has a 9.99% to 50% chance of filing for bankruptcy this year.
In an effort to revitalize the company, Rent the Runway executives formulated a restructuring plan that involves cutting 10% of its corporate roles, or 37 employees.
“With already strong unit economics and high margins, this new structure is designed to set the stage for the business to achieve free cash flow breakeven in fiscal 2024,” said the company.
